During our 80th anniversary Nancy Drew convention this year in Florida, we chartered a bus and spent a day book hunting around the Merritt Island/Orlando/Deltona area which was fabulous. Another day after sightseeing, we ended up in Melbourne at Judi Weaver's Mystery Manor Book Shop. It was to die for! :)

Thousands of series books--many in pristine condition, some full to near full series. Series book heaven or as one Sleuth coined it, a "bookgasm."

Look through these images (click for a larger image) to get a better view and if you're interested in contacting Judi about books you need for your collection, her e-mail is: judith_weaver@hotmail.com.

Our AZ Sleuths group met at Judy's house in Scottsdale, AZ for our July Discussion Group meeting. Attending were myself and Laura, Arlene, Judy, Dede, Gail and her daughter, Becky, Beth Marie, Tina, and Sleuth Janet's niece Sara who is doing an internship here at the AZ Republic this summer!

We had a pot luck lunch ranging from salads to quiche to turkey to fruit plus brownies, cookies, and key lime pie for dessert. Yum!

Books we discussed were #14 The Whispering Statue and #15 The Haunted Bridge.

Dede and Judy shared their convention scrapbooks and other crafty projects.
